Though there has been worldwide coverage of the recent blockbuster in the Rupert Murdoch-owned British paper, the U.S. media have remained entirely mum, a point which has drawn great consternation from both Edmonds and the 70's-era "Pentagon Papers" Daniel Ellsberg, whom The BRAD BLOG has spoken to this evening, following the release of tonight's extraordinary new Times piece.

The paper now reports that they are able to corroborate an apparent FBI cover-up of documents detailing an investigation of the theft and sale of nuclear secrets to agents working for Turkey and Israel, who in turn shared the secrets with Pakistan, who in turn may have shared those secrets with Iran, North Korea, Libya, and possibly even al-Qaeda.

As The BRAD BLOG reported along with the Times two weeks ago, the operation also includes allegations that high-ranking U.S. officials --- such as Marc Grossman, a former U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, who served as the #3 official in the State Department under Colin Powell and Richard Armitage from 2001 to 2005 --- were involved in the sale of those secrets and may have accepted pay-offs from agents in the black market network in the bargain.

The Times article tonight was originally published under the headline "FBI 'covers up' file exposing theft of nuclear secrets," according to Google News.

Though that header has already been changed to "FBI denies file exposing nuclear secrets theft."

The Times' article refers to an FBI case number (203A-WF-210023) referenced in an anonymous letter sent to The Liberty Coalition, a DC-based transpartisan civil and human rights watchdog organization. A subsequent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, asking for information referring to that case number, resulted in a denial from the FBI that such a case exists.

The letter describes, among other things, allegations that Grossman had warned officials at the Turkish embassy in DC of the existence of a CIA counter-proliferation operation using a "CIA cover company" by the name of "Brewster Jennings." That company was a front used by covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson, who was later outed by White House officials in the now-infamous CIA Leak case.

The BRAD BLOG had obtained a copy of the anonymous letter some weeks ago, along with the FBI's denial of the existence of related information via the FOIA request. We've been in touch with the Sunday Times over the past week, as this story has been developing.

We have yet to publish the letter in full, however, as we have been unable to independently corroborate a number of allegations made in the letter.

The Times, however, reports that they've "obtained a document signed by an FBI official showing the existence of the file" referred to in the anonymous letter.

We've also just spoken to Edmonds, who has been under an unprecedented 5-year-long gag order by the U.S. Department of Justice. The DoJ has threatened Edmonds with prosecution under the so-called "State Secrets Privilege." The threat of prison has kept her from speaking publicly about details related to the case, which she claims to have heard while translating wiretaps for the FBI in 2001 and 2002. She has spent many years encouraging members of Congress to hold hearings and a public investigation into the case. Despite public support from senators such as Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA), and a promise for investigations from members of Rep. Henry Waxman's (D-CA) office, who have been briefed on the details, no such investigation has been carried out to date.

Edmonds denied being the source for the anonymous letter, telling The BRAD BLOG "absolutely not," when we asked her directly if she was its author...

In addition to references in the letter to "Recorded wiretaps pertaining to conversations between Mr. Marc Grossman...and a Turkish official at the Turkish Embassy in Washington, DC, between August 2001 and December 2001," there are references to "Internal communication within the Department of Justice between December 2005 and march [sic] 2007." Edmonds points out she has no information on such internal communications at any period after 2002, when she was fired by the FBI after whistleblower complaints to her superiors about infiltration within the translations department. Those allegations were later described by the DoJ Inspector General as "credible," "serious," and "warrant[ing] a thorough and careful review by the FBI."

When we asked whether she could confirm the case number referenced in the anonymous letter, Edmonds told us, "I can confirm outright that the FBI lied in their denial of the existence of the file. 100%. It was an outright lie."

The case in question, she told The BRAD BLOG, careful to avoid categorical defiance of her gag order, "concerns 1996 to 2002 information, targeting Turkish counter-intelligence, and it involves U.S. officials both appointed and elected."

The Times' report tonight offers similar information from Edmonds on the FBI case number in question...

One of the documents relating to the case was marked 203A-WF-210023. Last week, however, the FBI responded to a freedom of information request for a file of exactly the same number by claiming that it did not exist. But The Sunday Times has obtained a document signed by an FBI official showing the existence of the file.

Edmonds believes the crucial file is being deliberately covered up by the FBI because its contents are explosive. She accuses the agency of an “outright lie.”

“I can tell you that that file and the operations it refers to did exist from 1996 to February 2002. The file refers to the counterintelligence programme that the Department of Justice has declared to be a state secret to protect sensitive diplomatic relations,” she said.

After the initial story in the Times two weeks ago, Edmonds posted a number of photographs of high-ranking U.S. officials and members of think tanks, on her website, without names or comment. The photos are believed to be those she alleges are involved in the criminal activities described in the various coverage of her explosive allegations. She would not comment to The BRAD BLOG concerning the photographs on that page, titled only: "Sibel Edmonds' State Secrets Privilege Gallery."

Luke Ryland, assuredly the world's foremost expert on the Edmonds case, writes tonight, on the FBI denial that any documents exist in reference to the specifically named case number:

The FBI's comments demonstrate conclusively that either:
a) They are lying, or
b) They have destroyed the evidence of this multi-year investigation concerning the corruption of high-level US officials, the nuclear black market, money laundering and narcotics trafficking.

"It's ironic," Edmonds told us, "here is the FBI and DoJ in charge of investigating the CIA Torture Tape case and the missing White House emails. So who is going to investigate the FBI and DoJ if they have destroyed evidence, if that's what they've done, because it looks like that's what they have done."

Without naming Grossman --- as they also failed to do in their previous report two weeks ago --- the Times reports on some of the letter's specific allegations...

It claims the government official warned a Turkish member of the network that they should not deal with a company called Brewster Jennings because it was a CIA front company investigating the nuclear black market. The official’s warning came two years before Brewster Jennings was publicly outed when one of its staff, Valerie Plame, was revealed to be a CIA agent in a case that became a cause célèbre in the US.

The letter also makes reference to wiretaps of Turkish “targets” talking to [Pakistan's] ISI intelligence agents at the Pakistani embassy in Washington and recordings of “operatives” at the [American Turkish Council].

"We are all familiar with the cliche that 'the cover-up is worse than the crime,' but that is often nonsense," Ryland writes tonight. "Just as in the CIA tape destruction case, here we have rational people making 'rational' decisions, not in the heat of the moment, to commit felonies by destroying evidence of treason amongst other crimes. The original crimes are much worse than the cover-up, and the guilty parties know it, that's why they decided to destroy and cover up all of the evidence."

He concludes by adding, "We have the crimes, we have the cover-ups, where are the consequences?"

American Media - (Still) Missing in Action

Last October, in a BRAD BLOG Exclusive, Edmonds had announced she was willing to defy her gag order, in order to give the entire story to any American mainstream broadcast outlet who would allow her to do so. Not a single media operation in this country took her up on the offer.

In November, we followed up that report with comments from the legendary Pentagon Papers whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg, who described Edmonds' story to us as "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers," while excoriating the American mainstream media for their failure to cover the story. Even then, while foreign media requested interviews with Edmonds, the American media refused to touch the story.

London's Sunday Times then contacted The BRAD BLOG after our series of reports, hoping to get in touch with Edmonds. They claimed they had some corroboration for elements of her story that had leaked out previously, and wanted to touch base with her. After putting them in touch with her, the result was the blockbuster story two weeks ago detailing allegations of a wide network of "moles" in place at U.S. nuclear installations, who were stealing and selling information on the foreign nuclear black market, as U.S. officials either looked the other way or were complicit in the criminal activities.

In response to that story, the top newspapers from Turkey to Pakistan to India to Israel picked up on the report. But in the United States, incredibly enough, absolutely nothing. Not a single major American media outlet covered the explosive and disturbing allegations.

We asked Edmonds tonight whether she had concerns that the British media outlet leading the way on coverage was, in fact, the Rupert Murdoch-owned Sunday Times, as some in the blogosphere had noted, with some concern, after the initial report two weeks ago.

"Murdoch is not doing it," she replied. "It's the difference between the UK's reporters and the U.S. reporters and the way they go after stories. It shows that they have far more leeway. I think a lot of it is the self-censorship [of the U.S. media] and the reliance 100% on only government sources."

"I have had [American] reporters call me and tell me that I have 'stumbled on some big time national security, covert operation'," she continued, explaining that as the reason given by some for staying away from the story.

"Well, Iran-Contra was a goddamn covert operation too! Even if that's what they're telling reporters in the U.S., it doesn't make the operation any less illegal. And the cover-up of that is outrageous," she told us tonight.

In an op-ed response being prepared by Daniel Ellsberg for publishing tomorrow by The BRAD BLOG, the Vietnam-era whistleblower offers these thoughts, in the wake of tonight's Times story, and the shameful failure of the American media to cover this important story to date...

For the second time in two weeks, the entire U.S. press has let itself be scooped by Rupert Murdoch's London Sunday Times on a dynamite story of criminal activities by corrupt U.S. officials promoting nuclear proliferation. But there is a worse journalistic sin than being scooped, and that is participating in a cover-up of information that demands urgent attention from the public, the U.S. Congress and the courts. For the last two weeks --- one could say, for years --- the major American media have been guilty of ignoring entirely the allegations of the courageous and highly credible source Sibel Edmonds, quoted in the London Times on January 6, 2008 in a front-page story that was front-page news in much of the rest of the world but was not reported in a single American newspaper or network.

Ellsberg goes on to write, "It is up to readers to demand that this culpable silent treatment end."

You know, it's only a matter of time before the corporate interests that control American MSM wrap their tentacles around foreign media sources. When that happens, where will we go to find out what's going in in America?

Fox News: 9/11, The Israeli Connection
"Documents say they, "targeted and penetrated military bases." The DEA, FBI and dozens of government facilities, and even secret offices and unlisted private homes of law enforcement and intelligence personnel. The majority of those questioned, "stated they served in military intelligence, electronic surveillance intercept and or explosive ordinance units..."

Fox News has learned that some American terrorist investigators fear certain suspects in the Sept. 11 attacks may have managed to stay ahead of them, by knowing who and when investigators are calling on the telephone..."

Regarding the suspicions about Murdoch publishing this story and the earlier one, don't forget that if he had some nefarious interest in having this story widely publicized, he has one of the greatest cross-promotional machines at his disposal. He could make sure that it was picked up by the WSJ, The Australian, Sky News, ... maybe even FoxNews! But this story hasn't to my knowledge been picked up by one other Murdoch outlet anywhere in the world.

Also, it's worth remembering that the Sunday Times, though it's not usually the greatest of newspapers, or especially reliable, does have a history of publishing whistleblower's testimony. It published Mordechai Vanunu's disclosure of Israel's nukes back in 1986, when it was Murdoch-owned.

"I think the most important stuff posted on the net re the article in Sunday Times is Chris Floyd’s “The Bomb in the Shadows: Proliferation, Corruption and the Way of the World” since he paints the Big Picture (available since early 90’s. Or 60’s, 70’s, if you prefer)

I think Chris Floyd is one of the most important voices of America today. (And been so since his time as a columnist at Moscow Times.)"

To keep on hammering out the old and forgotten scandals of Iran-Contras, BCCI, and BNL across the blogosphere could be one way to sort of open the mind of people about the fact that Sibel's revelations really seem right to the point.

In general it's not really US journalists to be blamed for the state of US media. To read more on my take on journalists writing books, see the comments on We Can Change the World here and here.

Another required reading if one wants to get a grasp on how totally penetrated US politics are by a criminal mindset is "The Mafia, CIA & George Bush" by Pete Brewton. A journalistic tour de force, if anyhing. It's like getting into a different universe to think that Brewton could have a lot of this stuff published in Houston, Texas in the late 80's and early 90's!

Today I can't really think of any other really viable channel for the Sibel story than perhaps Seymour Hersh and the New Yorker. Then it will at least be heard in some parts of the US.

The cover up has begun-- when searching this entry on google, a blank space appears and "flagged for removal" comes up. Internet Haganah is a troll group that removes "anti-Israel hate speech" entries from the web. Dont let this happen to Sibel.

Further support for her whistleblowing revelations of high up US Government officials:

WASHINGTON (AP) - A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted Wednesday as part of a terrorist fundraising ring that allegedly sent more than $130,000 to an al-Qaida and Taliban supporter who has threatened U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan.

The former Republican congressman from Michigan, Mark Deli Siljander, was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about lobbying senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to terrorists.

Screw the American media. I say we need to inform and apply relentless pressure to our Senators and Congress people to push for hearings, just as Wexler is doing regarding impeachment. We have voices and need to use them through and with our government.

Let the corporate media live in their bubble. Citizens can take the air out of their bubble by ignoring and bypassing them, and rendering them obsolete. Let the consequences of their inaction take hold.

I'm basically new to this story. I mean I've read bits and pieces about it for some time but it was just too confusing, and the things I read went in so many directions, that I couldn't follow it. So now I've read the two articles published in the Times- the recent one and the previous one. And it all pretty much makes sense. My question is this- has Sibel named the senior State Department official? Who is it? Also, what was the nature of the Israeli involvement? I find it hard to believe the Israeli government would steal nuclear secrets and sell them to a Islamic nation like Pakistan. Or were the Israelis stealing this info for themselves? Also, I remember reading Hastert might be involved with the Turks- any good evidence for that? Anyway, this story is a bombshell- and yet I'm not hearing a peep out of our media about it. Somebody has got to pick up the ball. Somebody has got to want to be the next Woodward or Bernstein- don't they?

You can use the following form letter to review a copy of the FBI file 203A-WF-210023 you mentioned. 203A means that it is a foreign counterintelligence investigation, WF means that it is an investigation based in the Washington Metropolitan Field Office. Here's the letter (send to all three offices):

At Syriacomment.com- a M.E. blog has been having a hot discussion since Jan 17, two days before the latest Sibel revelations came out addressing Israeli treason. "T"'s thread addresses the issue indepth. The entire thread must be viewed to get full impact. Then "T" refers to "Exhibit 203a" as being evidence used in a court case to convict Israeli dual nationals of treason/spying. The Item was posted BEFORE the information was ever made public on the London Times news site. (The post is stamped 7:07pm but on this site- 5hrs is always added from the actual time of the blogger hitting the "submit" key. Which makes the post at 2:07pm EST. Calls to London TimesOnline said no version of the Sibel Edmonds article went public BEFORE 2:43pm EST (7:43 London GMT). See "Saudi Money Cant buy you love- or success" in the comments section of Syriacomment.com. Odd.

Money has corrupted These peopole in FBI and CIA, but if we sink into a depression, these people will have no reason to keep anything secret because thier money in overseas accounts will become worthless.

I saw a suggestion in the comments of Luke's post on DailyKos to add encouraging comments on the Sunday Times article. I second that idea. Very much. I obviously got too encouraging when I suggested that Times' readers should also consult blogs like this, We Can Change the World, and Let Sibel Edmonds speak since it was filtered away

Step back, look at the bigger picture and wonder what this could be part of? What's the plan? What's the purpose? Who benefits?

One purported reason for this secret plan was to suss out who might wish to do us harm, so we could focus on them and stop them. The recent story about Hal Turner being an FBI agent who stirred up the rabble, just so the FBI could focus in on the dangerous ones is a similar idea.

But, strangely, my suspicions go in another direction. I remember we became obsessed with the Middle East and our "enemies" there during the 1980s and then moreso when Bush I took office, the first Republican president after the fall of the Soviet Union. Somehow I think the military industrial complex needed a new enemy, a new Darth Vader type to fight.

But, I keep hearing we're entirely vulnerable to nuclear attacks and I don't understand how that could be after we've discovered conclusively that Saddam Hussein didn't have them and now we know Iran doesn't either. So, who has them and why should we worry?

The Soviet Union had them and now there are only a handful of states which still do.

Is there any surprise we're hearing rumbling from Putin about keeping all the options on the table, including a preemptive nuclear strike? What's that about?

Consider this pure speculation (which occurred to me back in the mid-'90s): what if the stupid Republicans signed a pact with the Soviet Union (Russians really) to destroy Communism and to destroy our free-market-imperialism in a double-suicide?

The Soviet Union collapsed and caused massive disruption of human life. Now we have decimated our military, driven ourselves $9 trillion in debt and are facing a self-made economic depression. Are we really so stupid as to have done these things accidentally, on such a massive scale?

Who is at fault if all this is even a little bit true?

It certainly isn't you and me. It isn't the common man. They can't lay the blame on accidents and stupidity. Alan Greenspan knew the housing market was a problem and now claims ignorance. I don't believe it. I don't believe the media is "fair and balanced" when they refuse to even speak John Edwards name. He alone offers sound advice for fixing our woes and he alone (of the most popular candidates) is shut out, blacklisted, censored. On the Republican side Ron Paul faces somewhat the same fate, but he isn't nearly as popular or as sensible.

Who is to blame?

Remember that question and remember who controls all the power levers and uses them to stifle discourse and any sensible solution to our obvious problems.

Here's a question for others; this past week the media reported on Israel testing new missiles, one of which supposedly had a range of 2700 miles and was capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
Such a missile could reach Moscow and Delhi.
Such a missile has no defense purpose related to the Middle East where Israel indicates it's existence is threatened.
So why would they be developing such a missile?
Are the citizen's of the world doomed to 'not a flood but a fire next time' because of the delusional,paranoid leaders of the U.S. and Israel?
Is it any wonder the Russian's are talking about 'pre-emption'?

It isn't "America", but criminals working for personal profit under the aegis of America. I think that's a crucial distinction, and that distinction should be made for the other implicated countries as well. It will help us think more clearly.

anonymous poster says: "I find it hard to believe the Israeli government would steal nuclear secrets and sell them to a Islamic nation like Pakistan. "

grow up. who supplied apartheid south africa with nuclear expertise and technology? israel.

who was mixed up in iran/contra providing cocaine primarily for US inner city blacks and using the proceeds to buy weapons for iran?

2005: PBS Frontline: The Double Life of Asher Karni
Continuing our investigation of nuclear proliferation, FRONTLINE/World reporter Mark Schapiro and producer Cassandra Herrman travel to South Africa to find out how Asher Karni, an Israeli businessman respected in his Orthodox community in Cape Town, became the middleman in a black market operation to supply nuclear technology to Pakistan.http://www.pbs.org/front...ories/nuclear/part2.html

google asher karni and ryan g. anderson for that matter.

israel is now the fourth largest arms exporter in the world, overtaking britain.

never mind. republicans and dems are perfectly happy to keep sending US taxpayer $$$ to israel - as if they need it!

and having accepted the media selections for dem candidates - two minority individuals guaranteed to polarise voters - we may just see a mccain/lieberman ticket winning the presidency.

how amusing it is to read kos/du etc and see no concern for the complete shutdown of gaza, the daily killings of palestinians, etc.

and who can remember the 70 UN resolutions against israel that the corporate media has not mentioned in years.

murdoch's UK Times also published the 'downing street memo' which the corporate media failed to cover until pressured by the bloggers. even then, they treated it as an argument between bloggers who thought it was a 'smoking gun' and the corpmedia who thought it wasn't.

similarly the UK Times is given credit for publishing mordechai vanunu's expose of the israeli nuclear program, but the Times did not publish first. the mossad-connected robert maxwell's UK Daily Mirror published a hit piece on vanunu first while the Times held back publication until vanunu had already been kidnapped and was on his way to israel. of course the australian media was the first to refuse to publish vanunu's allegations backed up with photographs etc.

Brad, great work! You are a true American patriot out to protect our freedoms and our nation. This story will see the light of day and our frienemy Israel will be exposed for once and for all in the mainstream press (Carl Cameron tried).

i have really appreciated your non-partisan (no ties to a particular political party) coverage and active involvement about how the corrupt treasonous 1%er corporate office holders in the Republican-Democrap machine have succeeded in keeping their bogus system of elections as the status quo. Modern U.S. elections are characterized by votes are counted in secrecy by voting machine companies using electronic voting machines that can steal an election 50 different ways without transparency and without verifiable paper trails. It also seems there in no national accepted "safe place" to store election evidence (votes) in the event a recount is required.

Your efforts to report the Sibel Edmonds story is priceless. This story reflect how their are defective parasitic careless treasoners at the highest levels of our government and Justice Departments.

The overwhelming evidence about the corrupted FBI, CIA, Secret Service, and the Justice departments all have become a cancer on the American people and the world. These organizations need an entire change of personel and new protocol needs to be implemented to avoid this experience from being repeated.

The people Ms. Edmonds named need to frigin burn. These people need to be prosecuted and stand court marshall for their damage and treason.

The US government corporate mass media conglomerant must be broken up and destroyed. Their silence is just another nail in the coffin as to WHY we must end this monopoly!!!

As usual, I command the immediate Impeachment and remove of the President George W Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney from all Executive branch powers pending prosecution for treason, war crimes, multiple high crimes and misdemeanors, as well as directing the sale and destruction of US wild lands and national treasures mainly in Western states as the Federal Bureau of Land Management.

Pelosi re-affirms there will be no impeachment hearings....I wonder did she know about this too...along with the "torture briefing" she recieved in, was it, 2004?
I always kind of figured it was not so much about Joe Wilson's article refuting "the yellow cake, Nigeria" information...I alway felt that was just a smoke screen....it was Valarie Plame and Brewster-Jennings "they" were really after..

Security
"It is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automation of a
society, i.e., the engineering of social automation systems (silent weapons) on
a national or worldwide scale without implying extensive objectives of social
control and destruction of human life, i.e., slavery and genocide.
This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing must be
secured from public scrutiny. Otherwise, it might be recognized as a technically
formal declaration of domestic war. Furthermore, whenever any person or group of
persons in a position of great power and without full knowledge and consent of
the public, uses such knowledge and methodologies for economic conquest - it
must be understood that a state of domestic warfare exists between said person
or group of persons and the public.
The solution of today's problems requires an approach which is ruthlessly
candid, with no agonizing over religious, moral or cultural values.
You have qualified for this project because of your ability to look at human
society with cold objectivity, and yet analyze and discuss your observations and
conclusions with others of similar intellectual capacity without the loss of
discretion or humility. Such virtues are exercised in your own best interest. Do
not deviate from them.
Historical Introduction
Silent weapon technology has evolved from Operations Research (O.R.), a
strategic and tactical methodology developed under the Military Management in
England during World War II. The original purpose of Operations Research was to
study the strategic and tactical problems of air and land defense with the
objective of effective use of limited military resources against foreign enemies
(i.e., logistics).
It was soon recognized by those in positions of power that the same methods
might be useful for totally controlling a society. But better tools were
necessary.
Social engineering (the analysis and automation of a society) requires the
correlation of great amounts of constantly changing economic information (data),
so a high-speed computerized data-processing system was necessary which could
race ahead of the society and predict when society would arrive for
capitulation...."

There are secrets that George W. Bush guards at least as carefully as any
entrusted to a president.

He's forbidden to share these secrets even with the vice president ---
secrets he has held ever since his days as an undergraduate at Yale.

SOURCE FILE
In his senior year, Mr. Bush - like his father and his grandfather -
belonged to Skull and Bones, an elite secret society that includes some of
the most powerful men of the 20th century.

All Bonesmen, as they're called, are forbidden to reveal what goes on in
their inner sanctum, the windowless building on the Yale campus that is
called "The Tomb."

There are conspiracy theorists who see Skull and Bones behind everything
that goes wrong, and occasionally even right in the world.

Apart from presidents, Bones has included cabinet officers, spies, Supreme
Court justices, statesmen and captains of industry - and often their sons,
and lately their daughters, too.

It’s a social and political network like no other. And they've responded
to outsiders with utter silence – until an enterprising Yale graduate,
Alexandra Robbins, managed to penetrate the wall of silence in her book,
“Secrets of the Tomb.” Correspondent Morley Safer reports.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
”I spoke with about 100 members of Skull and Bones and they were members
who were tired of the secrecy, and that's why they were willing to talk to
me,” says Robbins. “But probably twice that number hung up on me, harassed
me, or threatened me.”freespeech92@bellsouth.net
